We do have a draft of such a target. Our main concern with it at the moment is that the lower level device drivers re-try too much when there is an error, this can result in it taking as long as 30 seconds for us to notice that a path has gone down and subsequently failover. Load balancing does appear to work nicely. This target will be open source. - Joe
